Derailleurs: On the Game Trail

Filed under: Cycling,Virginia — Tags: , — George Privon @ 18:44

Due to last night’s derailleur excitement, I’m on the hunt for a fix. I basically have two options: new pulleys or a new derailleur. Initially, I was going to opt for the second option as it would only be slightly more expensive and I might be able to upgrade components. So I trekked over to the bike shop… and they didn’t have anything I could use in stock! So it looks like I’ll be returning to the pulley idea…

So until I can get the pulleys and screws I need to fix it, I’m switching back to the P.3 for commuting. I had knobby tires on it, but just switched them out for an urban tire with less tread and more tire pressure. It won’t be quite as fast as a road bike, but it should do just fine.
